Abstract :

Students are one of the important and effective social groups of the society, and it is very important to pay attention to their self-efficacy. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the fit of the model of predicting students' quality of life based on emotional intelligence and self-esteem with the mediating role of self-efficacy. The current research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlation type using structural equation modeling. The statistical population of all the students of Islamic Azad University of Qom Medical Sciences Unit was 1128 people, and 289 people were selected based on Klein's method and based on purposive sampling. The research tools included World Health Organization's Quality of Life Questionnaire (1965), Sherring's Siberian Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (1998), Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Questionnaire (1965), and Scherer's General Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (1982). The results showed that the quality of life of students has a significant relationship with emotional intelligence, self-esteem and self-efficacy at the level of 0.01, and there is also a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and self-esteem, and using multiple linear regression, it was determined to be 16.5%. From the variable changes, the quality of life is determined by predictor variables of emotional intelligence and self-esteem. It can be concluded that by improving the levels of emotional intelligence, self-esteem and self-efficacy, the aspects of quality of life can be increased in students. The result of the present research can be used by organizations and bodies to increase the quality of life of students.
